[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What has you panicking and stocking up on food, OP? My family of three and a dog is not stocking up - normal supplies in the house. We’d run out of food we like to eat in a week and could survive on the cans in the back of the shelf for another couple weeks, I’m sure.

The grocery store is open and there is food on the shelves. I don’t think that is changing in the coming weeks.[/quote]

You might be right. I hope you are. But rising gas prices coupled with war in Europe could easily have an impact on the availability of shipping, what gets shipped, and, certainly the costs of shipping, which will be reflected in what’s on the shelves and what’s not. [/quote]

I’m PP you responded to. Sure, that’s true. And if you adore a certain brand or specific food item and it would be a problem if it went away, I can see being super proactive about making sure you’ll never run out of it. But there WILL be food on the shelves even if a wider war in Europe breaks out. I don’t see being without meat, or broccoli, or any one thing as an emergency I need to avoid. If there are only dry beans but no canned on the grocery shelf, or sweet potatoes and not white, or rice flour but no wheat flour…whatever. That’s what we’ll eat.

I do indeed love my particular brands of coffee and chocolate. Maybe it’s worth hoarding those! Some things are IMPORTANT.[/quote]
